What affects the price in Elvington
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children

Elvington questions
Is Elvington close to London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
